Another Pizza Party

[Richie]

These pics are from mid July, we had a group of about 24 people, made around 30 pies. I'll split the pics into two posts, first ones to do with prep, the other of the party

Dough prep - 2 pics, trying these plastic bowls out, mixed results so far

Grilling veggies

Cooking Italian sausage fully

And pics from the party.

1- Cooking away

2 - A guest so happy about her chicken and shrimp fajita combo and whatever else she could throw on it pizza

3 - The happy crowd (wine always helps)

4 - Last but not least a nice desert pie, chocolate under the roasted marshmallows

Thanks, Richie,
A S'Mores Pizza! How cool is that! Everything looks great. That chicken and shrimp fajita pizza looks really good as well (I'd have a big smile on my face too ) Would you be willing to share how to put one together?

Re: Another Pizza Party

How was the oven temp? Did you get 2 minute pizzas?

[Richie]

Re: Another Pizza Party

Drake, oven temp stayed up above 850, but I was adding wood throughout the night, 2 minutes or less, worked well.

rberg, She added lots to that pie. The chicken was seasoned pretty heavely and I grilled the chicken breasts before the party and shoved them in the fridge until the eparty. I used ample amounts of garlic powder, chile powder and Lousianna style seasoning (Tony's).

The shrimp I seasoned in a bowl using same stuff, tossed them in olive oil, lime juice and a little beer then through them on a fajita style cast iron skillet that I had in the oven when it was pizza hot, and WOW, they jumped off that thing and were done before I could pull the skillet back out. Found a new toy to play with in the oven!

Re: Another Pizza Party

Richie, excellent. Marinated shrimp popping on a hot cast iron skillet. That's something you can't do without a wood-fired oven!

You can do something similar with stuffed mushrooms.

One is reminded that the French verb "Saute" means "Jump"
